yes........ i agree with you

"phoenicians were the main ancestors of the maltese"

Not true at all, please prove such a dubious theory. The first people to land on Malta were ancient Sicilians; specifically the tribe of European people thought to have originally come to Sicily themselves from the Iberian Peninsula, perhaps Catalonia. - Butrosss (talk) 06:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a well known and commonly referenced fact that the first settlers on Malta were from Sicily. The phonecian influx occured afterwards. 84.13.31.185 (talk) 20:59, 31 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
